London Live in Hyde Park – London chat forum

[Scott Curtis]

Can you tell me, what's on in Hyde Park on the 7th of August. I have tickets to London Live but I can't find out what or who is on ? Thanks for your help.

[Admin]

The only music act that has been confirmed for the 7th August is Kenny Thomas (at 5.10 PM). I can't say that we've ever heard of him, but a quick look on wikipedia tells us he's a British soul singer.

As for the screens showing sporting events, here is a list of all the Olympic events taking place on that day: londondrum.com/events/?m=tuesday-7-august-20 ... rts-events

Do you have to be in by 2pm to get in? Or you need to get a ticket by 2pm?

[Admin]

The only way you can guarantee entry is by buying a "guaranteed entry" ticket. Otherwise entry into BT London Live is subject to numbers. Check out the details on this page - http://www.btlondonlive.com/tickets

I can't get a guaranteed entry ticket as they are sold out. What time will the park be open from on Saturday the 11th August?

[Admin]

It will be open from 8.30 AM on the 11th.

[You can still take them to the park, of course -- but you won't be able to take them inside BT London Live. BT London Live doesn't take up the whole of Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens. The Women's Triathlon is also going on in Hyde Park on the 4th, but they aren't shutting the whole park off... although there is a ticketed area north of the Serpentine.]
